ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A wireless broadband data plan must be activated on your MC100E modem.
The process of initiating a carrier plan with your modem is called Activation.
Wireless broadband data plans are made available from wireless carriers, such as
Sprint and Verizon, and are required to allow your modem to connect and transfer
data on their network.
Your modem may already be activated. Check with your vendor for status and
follow their advice, if needed.
If your modem is not yet active or your vendor is unable to activate the modem,
go to www.cradlepoint.com/mc100e for more information.
The MC100E is designed to be used exclusively with compatible CradlePoint routers
and adapters.
For a complete list of compatible products, visit www.cradlepoint.com/mc100e
The MC100E is a plug-and-play device. Simply attach the modem to the CradlePoint
product and connect. The modem will connect if 3G/EVDO or 1xRTT technology
is available in your area.
